ALBANY, GA (WALB) - We often hear people say we should do more for the people who put on their country's uniform to protect us. Sometimes, it's just lip service, but Georgia's senior senator has turned words into deeds.

Senator Johnny Isakson, who heads the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, has put forward six pieces of legislation to help vets, and four of them are now law, or are headed to the president.

We hear from vets all the time that the V.A. doesn't do enough, or is slow in acting.
